I am in total agreement that this is not only bad taste - but it is totally
useless information - what was the point of it? Why was the PEACE Foundation
the only non-profit that this man singled out. I am sure there are other
non-profits with board members that are all doing good things and perhaps
doing things that are a possible conflict of interest.
I had heard through other community members that this email list was one way
to 'tune' in to what was going on in our local community - more specifically
the upcoming elections- so that's what I did since I am interested in
following the Samuels vs Johnson-Lee campaigns closely to decide for myself
and share with my people what is real and what is the mud-slinging.
But the only thing I have learned so far is that there are several people
that are taking any avenue possible to discredit and bash Don Samuels as
well as the DFL party. Has anyone else picked up on this? I wish the
actual candidates or campaign representatives would come forward to present
real facts and issues instead of what I see as 'planted' postings that I am
sure all posters will say they have no affiliation with the campaigns, some
will be true, some will not be true.
No response needed, but all are welcome.

I don't find this laughable, I find it offensive. The people and
organizations listed here are trying to make a difference in our city.
They
are doing more than just complaining and to compare them to people who
commit murder and sell drugs is the epitome of bad taste. While the writer
may not agree with these people, it does not justify him slandering them.
Perhaps he would feel differently if the PEACE Foundation or General Mills
threw some money his way. Whatever his motives for writing this, it
definitely
does not meet the guide lines of being civil that this Forum supposedly
adheres to. Shame on the writer.
